The Lupiselle also had a hitman named Sonny Honorato; Honorato served as the crime family's main hitman for the last years, despite his somewhat old age for the job. He has been reported as deceased by 2008. A notable associate along with Honorato was Moe Schwartz, who, unlike Honorato, wasn't a full member of the family because of his Jewish ancestry. He worked as an accountant for the family, making it the noly Liberty City Crime syndicate that the Federal Government has been unable to charge with tax irregularities with.
